He had the 68 yard dash, the 40 yard dash, a 15 yard TD scamper, and a bunch around 10 yards.If he gains 200+ yards in the game, I will take the smaller gains. BTW - it felt like more than half were at least 2 yards, but I might have had my purple tinted glasses on.
I think the game planners saw something they liked about Pittsburgh's scheme (duh) in terms of running the ball. Perhaps the Pitt emphasis on pressuring the LOS with its front 7, and relatively poor secondary, was the perfect complement to JJ's ability to make defenders miss in very close quarters. When you compress the front 7 like Pitt did, one little crease was all that JJ needed to break one and get isolation in the secondary. The way he froze that safety like an orange pylom on the 40 yard run was just silly. So I think you just keep hitting the run game until you hit the lottery, which JJ did several times.
